What People Are Saying
“Wonderful spot in Joshua Tree! I loved the piano, the main room, the record player, and being able to walk to Mas o Menos. The master bedroom was spacious and cozy. 10/10!”

“We loved our stay at Lauren’s place. It exceeded my expectations. It was clear that a lot of love and attention was put into the interior design, from the easel TV stand to the gallery wall above the piano. Also great location for exploring Joshua Tree National Park, and walking distance to a cute coffee shop/bar. It was a great place to relax and return to after a day of hiking, I wish we could’ve stayed longer!! One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had.”

“Had a great stay at The Gather Round Ranch. Lauren is a responsive host and her place was beautifully furnished. It has so much character and was exactly what I was looking for. Just a couple blocks from Mas O Menos which we went for breakfast and coffee as well as dinner and drinks. West Entrance to Joshua Tree is only minutes away as well. Great stay!”

“We had a great stay! It’s a short drive to the entrance of the park and also close to Más o Menos, which was so convenient. Traveling with a baby can be challenging, so having great food nearby made everything much easier. The place was clean, comfortable, and peaceful, and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.”
